Taking his cues from 1960s and '70s electric guitarists such as Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Rory Gallagher and Peter Green — who took rustic American blues to searing, artistic and even bombastic heights — Bonamassa is a virtuosic player capable of conjuring all of his heroes. He's a familiar name on Billboard's Blues Albums charts, where he's had 11 No. 1 albums, and he's been the No. 1 blues guitarist for readers of Guitar Player magazine for five straight years. He has several guitar-hero projects slated for 2014, but it's hard to resist revisiting 2010's “Joe Bonamassa: Live at the Royal Albert Hall” CD/DVD.
